CompTIA A+ Core 2: Backup & Recovery Methods

Backing up data is the practice of copying data from a primary to a secondary location. Regular backups are essential when attempting to recover from a primary data failure. Backups should be performed regularly in both personal and business scenarios. In this course explore disaster prevention techniques and recovery best practices. Discover how to differentiate between full incremental differential and synthetic backups and learn when to implement each method. Next explore backup frequency timelines that can help ensure regular data backups. Discover how to differentiate between on-site and off-site backup rotation schemes and lastly explore backup rotation schemes including grandfather-father-son (GFS) and the 3-2-1 backup rule. This course is part of a series that will help you prepare for the CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) certification exam.
